Indeed there are. I've only ever seen them at those two zoos but both had decent-sized herds with a mix of ages, so it looks like they'll be around for the foreseeable.
They're a nice subspecies - a very consistent sandy colour.
i would love to see an angolan giraffe in a US zoo, but all US zoos have are reticulated, masai, and baringo, there used to be nubian giraffes at santa barbara zoo and san diego zoo but now its only baringo at santa barbara and masai at san diego. id like to see some angolan giraffes for a change

There are no more Reticulated Giraffes in the U.S., just BaringoXReticulated hybrids that are still listed as Reticulated. So really it's only Baringo and Masai in captivity with maybe one really old pure Reticulated at Busch Gardens Tampa (I don't know if she's still alive, though). I would've loved to have seen the Nubians and I would, too, like to see some Angolan Giraffes.

Thanks Thylo, I wasnt aware that there were no pure reticulated giraffes in the US, going back to the Angolan giraffes, I found out that the Los Angeles Zoo had Angolan giraffes at one time, I am not exactly sure if Giraffe subspecies other than Baringo, Masai, Reticulated, Nubian, or Angolan have been imported into the United States, but I can find out for you
